Inexpensive, bassy, and offered in six colors (black, red, green, blue, orange, and pink), Scosche's new lobeDope ($40) is a not-quite-Realm, low-end addition to the company's headphone line. An unpadded hard plastic headband is largely matte-finished, with Scosche branding on the top, enabling the left and right speakers to ratchet modestly upwards or downwards for a better fit atop your ears. Simple foam and fabric pads cover the 40mm audio drivers, while a slightly flattened cable features an angled 3.5mm plug for connection to your device -- there's no in-line remote.

Editors' Note: iLounge only reviews products in "final" form, but many companies now change their offerings - sometimes several times - after our reviews have been published.
This iLounge article provides more information on this practice, known as revving.
